Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Zevien spent a whole day inside the tube thinking about his approach regarding this incident and how he would use the fairy magic spell to his advantage.

After thinking for a day, he finally thought of an idea, but to make this idea a reality, he would need to spend a lot of time and also need the help of Tarto.

'The idea is not bad, and I also feel that it can be realized successfully,' Tarto nodded before grinning, 'alright, I deem this possibility to be realized, so you must succeed.'

'I will do it even if you didn't say that,' Zevien said with a snort before continuing, 'anyway, I will need your knowledge regarding the fairy summoning.'

'What you are going to do is not really that difficult. You just have to contain someone else's intent in your summoning spell. So basically, you need a magic formation of an ethereal-type containment in your summoning magic spell's formation,' Tarto said casually.

'Thank you for making it sound easy,' Zevien rolled his eyes, 'if you have knowledge of such containment magic formation, then pass its magic intent to me. I got a month here, and I will spend it learning its magic intent and magic formation before infusing it in the main magic formation of fairy summoning magic spell.'

'It is not that complicated, so you must succeed,' Tarto said firmly before letting Zevien feel the magic intent of the ethereal-type containment magic formation.

'Ok, I just created a magic symbol containing that intent in your magic eidos body. When you want to learn the intent, you can sense it by meditating,' Tarto said before disappearing. 'I'm leaving now. I will come back after a day.'

Zevien closed his eyes and started training without wasting time. He entered meditation and sensed the symbol to feel its magic intent to understand and learn it.

After three hours, he heard some sound and opened his eyes to see Touma, Blondina, and Merax looking at him.

Seeing him finally opening his eyes, Touma smiled, "You should be able to speak now, right?"

Zevien nodded as his head was not dipped inside the liquid-like his body. He could move his head and speak now that he was healed slightly.

"I can speak now but this small pipe going inside my body through my mouth is uncomfortable; how long will it stay like this?"

"Ten more days to fully heal your internals and revitalize them," Touma said wryly.

"Then you can ask me questions after ten days," Zevien grinned, "I will answer everything and tell what happened, how that happened, why that happened."

Merax, Blondina, and Touma became speechless.

"You are taking full advantage of your temporary VIP status, I see," Blodina said plainly.

"That is a given," Zevien cheekily smiled, "don't worry, I plan to extend this VIP status pretty soon by other means."

Suddenly, he acted as if he was in pain and spoke weakly, "alright, I can't speak more. See you after ten days."

"Fine, but we need to know one thing, did you kill Galen?" Merax asked with a slight frown, "that old hag will soon find out about it, and trouble will begin."

"Galen? I only met him once," Zevien made a confused expression before he revealed a shocked face, "Don't tell me he died? How?!"

Before they could answer, Zevien spoke, "oh, and also tell me who killed him so I can thank that person," Zevien's expression turned angry as he continued, "he was really infuriating as he wanted to get between Vernisia and me. I would have killed him myself if he was not already dead."

Merax, Blondina, and Touma stared at Zevien's angry expression and were doubtful.

The three of them went back without saying anything and discussed softly outside the glass chamber.

"I told you that he couldn't have killed him," Touma said as he rubbed his chin, "Galen was thrown from approximately three to four thousand meters high in the sky. Zevien doesn't even have the ability to fly moderately, let alone fly that high."

"But obviously, he has some hidden cards," Merax said thoughtfully, "if he caused the bloodied mess we saw in the villa, it is possible that he killed Galen."

"There's no use speculating about this ourselves," Blodina shook her head before saying indifferently, "whether he killed Galen or not doesn't matter because that old hag can't do anything to him while he is under our protection."

"Alright, we will be leaving since we are busy, unlike you," Merax said as he looked at Touma, "everyone will gather after ten days to ask Zevien about the whole situation. We will see what he got up his sleeve at that time."

…

Galen's parents, Hilary and Lucas, were seated at a table in the lounge of a hotel in the Lankrena region. The hotel was no less extravagant than a 7-star hotel.

Two more people were at the table, both middle-aged like Hilary and Lucas. Those two people were also a couple named Thizer and Enya.

The state of Hilary and Lucas was not very good as they had red eyes filled with anger and sadness.

"You two go back; we will abort this task for now," Thizer said with a frown, "if your mother finds out about Galen's death, she might just bring the Gio family down by taking some unwise steps."

Lucas clenched his fist such that his palm started bleeding due to his nails, "whoever is it that killed my son…must die along with everyone close to him! I have to do this before mother comes back from Astral Land."

"He went to Starlight city because my friend called him for an arranged marriage with her daughter. I told you about it," Hilary held back her tears as she spoke with some anger still in her voice, "he already liked her after seeing her photo and wanted to meet her but didn't expect this would happen to him after going there."

"Lucas!" Hilary looked at her husband while gritting her teeth, "let's go to the Starlight city right away! We must find the perpetrator, so I can kill them with my own hands!"

"Be careful," Enya said with a frown, "if someone dared to kill the sole son of Gio, then that person either must be very powerful individually or have a powerful background."

"We will know about that once we reach there," Lucas grunted coldly, standing up, "we are leaving now; you can take care of the clan."

Thizer and Enya nodded.

After Hilary and Lucas left, Thizer sighed, "this task was pretty important for us, but now it failed. We even bribed that official in the Magic Guild to get this task for ourselves but now that we failed, that Black Panther clan or Storm Wind clan will definitely complete it."

"It's because that bastard went to Starlight city and courted death," Enya snorted, "old hag Mephis had spoiled him too much just because he was her sole grandson."

"Leave it," Thazir shook his head before standing up, "let's hope they can resolve this soon and return here. It's a pretty important time right now as eruption spots have increased since that incident regarding magic labyrinths two days ago."

"Yeah, who knows if the numbers will still remain this high in the future," Enya nodded with a frown, "let's gather all other members and start working on it."
